This beautiful gal was such a pleasure to photograph. We did Mallory's senior shoot here on the farm and it was so fun incorporating some of her interest into the rustic, farm feel she wanted!

We have a super old basketball court on one of the properties where my in laws' old farmhouse used to be, so it was perfect for her sports shots and still keeping those rustic vibes. We also headed down to the river and braved mosquitos for some shots with the River Raisin as the backdrop.

Here are some favorite shots from this pretty lady's senior session here on the farm...

Not to age myself, but I babysat this strapping young lad when he was just a wee little toddler...and now he is a senior (SENIOR!) in high school and graduating this year. I can't believe it! Time sure does fly by in a blink of an eye.

Adam wanted a downtown setting for his senior portraits and it did not disappoint. His mom had scouted some spots around downtown she wanted to try, including the red church door where I shot Adam's older brother's senior photos a few years before. We also hit up a favorite soda counter & candy shop that both Adam and I grew up going to as kids to get fountain sodas and candy. It was fun incorporating a special place with lots of memories attached to it for Adam's senior session!

Here are some favorite shots of this handsome guy from his session in downtown!

Lexi's senior session was one of my favorite senior shoots of the year; all the stars aligned and we had perfect the perfect temperature, a beautiful golden hour and a very well behaved horse.

One of my engagement clients was kind enough to bring their horse Sammy back to the farm for part of Lexi's senior session and it was just magical. Sammy is an old pro and Lexi was so comfortable with him. I love incorporated animals into sessions and this was no exception. I loved it so much!

Lexi took such fantastic direction and was willing to try all my crazy ideas, but I think we got some fantastic shots because of it! Here are just a few of my favorites (it was SO hard to narrow them down because I pretty much love them all!) of Lexi's boho senior session here at the farm....

Can we just stop and admire how adorable and beautiful Morgan is?! I had such a blast working with her, her mama and her grandma this fall at her grandparents' farm just down the road from my husband's aunt and uncle's pumpkin farm!

I could share every single image from her session because I love them all so much. It was hard to narrow down the top favorites to share here! We had a lot of variety in outfits and backdrops at the farm thanks to her grandma's amazing taste, decorating and landscaping.

We ended the session with Morgan and her favorite horse at the farm she has been riding since she was little. I love the candid shots I got of her interacting with him!

Makayla came to the farm to do her senior portraits and we had the perfect sunset for them! I had just gotten my '55 Dodge farm truck, so we had to get a few portraits using that by the bean field at sunset.

I think my favorite shots from the shoot are Makayla in the wildflower garden, though. I asked her to pick a flower and put it in her hair by her ear and then I snapped her reaction to how it made her feel. Probably a little childish, but beautiful none-the-less because look at this gorgeous gal! {Thanks to my mother-in-law for always welcoming my clients into her stunning garden! It really is so perfect!}

We also did some shots in the barn and out in the pasture, but finished up her session with her 4H steers! Adding her steers made this session that much more special and unique to her and I'm so glad her dad and brother helped make it happen and had the steers show ready come photo time at dusk. They really were something and Makayla did awesome at the 4H fair later that week showing her steers!

I love when seniors bring something special to their photos and that's what Dalton (and with the help of his mom!) did for his shoot -- we did all of Dalton's shoot at his grampa's farm where Dalton calls his second home and found a love of agriculture and farming.

I had to jump through a water ditch to get into the wheat field, but it was well worth it for that golden amber waves of grain against the stormy evening summer sky. We got so lucky with the weather! The rain held off so we could get the session in, but the sky stayed dark and contrasted beautifully against the wheat. It's why I love shooting sessions in the wheat so much!

These are just a few of what are my top shots from Dalton's session. I will say, those top two portrait shots of Dalton sitting in the wheel are one of my most favorite portraits I've ever taken. I love the way Dalton stared down my camera and his folded hands -- he truly is a farm guy.

I've got to say, Dalton was such a trooper taking direction from me and doing poses he thought were crazy. By by golly he did them for me and his mom and I were grateful because the gallery turned out perfectly!

I cannot pick just one or two favorites from Gabe's senior session here at the farm. But, if I HAD to, it would definitely be his shots with his pup Maggie. Dogs aren't called man's best friend for no reason and it's pretty apparent Maggie holds a special place in Gabe's heart.

We had a fantastic evening and it turned into quite the adventure! We swatted away what felt like thousands of mosquitos trekking through the woods along the river, got a vehicle stuck in the mud out in the pasture and then was photobombed by our mischievous cows. Is it possible for cows to be mischievous, because I swear mine are.

You never know what you are going to get into here, but I promise you it won't be dull!
